An update, two and a half years on.
As some of you know, back in February 2012, I had 3 Pulmonx valves fitted to the upper lobe of my right lung, as a means to achieve a reduction in lung volume. The op was an enormous success, giving me a huge increase in my capacity to live a life. Basically my FEV1 increased from 16% to 32%. I've written

Jarrow to london People's March for the NHS march arrived yesterday (and so did we!)
Amazing day - we met friends at Clissold Park, Stoke Newington (N. London) and cheered the arrival of the marchers including the "300 milers" - those who'd walked the entire route. Some looked exhausted. Everyone brought food for them, reflecting the original 1936 Jarrow march, when out of work marchers

Lung test results
Recent Lung test shows an FEV1 of 890ml FEV1/ VC ratio of 42%, not really sure how good this is, not due to see specialist for 6 months but have had several breathless episodes since lung test. Steroids, nebulisers only limited improvement. Any thoughts will be gratefully read.

Any ideas?
My GP is concerned that my fev1 has gone down significantly in the past year. She wants to try me on Sebring breezehaler instead of spiriva. Has anyone else tried this inhaler? I believe it is new on the market. I have looked at old posts and some people seem to be on fostair instead of serevent - any

hello! I'm new here
so I'm not too sure whether I comment on the question or a post so I'm just going with the flow at the moment! basically, I get a lot of pain in my jaw, my left arm, my back and in my chest and upper abdomen.. I've gone to multiple doctors and they all said I'm fine, that my heart is fine and my lungs

Phew .... another year, another test
Had my annual lung function test yesterday ..... the results are pretty much the same as two years ago and slightly better than last year, when, with hindsight, I now know I had had an infection brewing. I didn't do quite as well in the 6-minute walk test, but the nurse thought that may well have
